All's fair in Love and War!

Not related to any of my other stories, for the most part. Luna, with her time as twilight's assistant, has grown close to the unicorn, even going so far as to find her as a love interest! But what about her previous plans to serve some justice to her older sister? Will she be able to carry out plans to hurt her love's mentor? Will she be found-out? Or will Twilight be enough to sate Luna's anger?...wait...who says she can't do both at once!?

Day One

So Luna starts to second guess her original plans to exact revenge on her sister. Originally, she intended to banish her to the sun, make her taste some of her own medicine, but maybe there's a less sever way to get her wish done...

Referencing- This takes place around the same time as "MY little pony INDEED," but follows a different time line. An alternate universe, I guess, but not exactly...enjoy!

While I have to admit that my sister was trying to make things all better after my return, even dismissing further punishment for my second attempt, it still didn't clear the slate for banishing me to the moon for all those years. I mean, if there's anypony that loves the moon as much as I do, even THEY don't want to spend as much alone time with it as I did. After losing the last battle against her, I thought she'd just take away all of my magic, which I would have accepted graciously, seeing as I had lost, but NOOOO, she sends me to the MOON until I found my own way BACK! After thinking it over for months, I came to the conclusion that it would only be fair if she was banished to her precious sun for at least one thousand years.

I thought she had suspected me of treason again when she sent me to Twilight's Library, but even then I could still continue with my plans. In fact, being with the most studious of ponies I've ever met expedited my plans. Not only were her books great resources, but so was she! She could tell me practically anything I wanted to know about...well, anything I wanted to know! And if she didn't know, we could easily find a book which would help clear the misconceptions. We spent a lot of time together, talking about magic, it's origins, how it's affected by nature, and how it can be used or strengthened. She knew a lot about magic than anypony ever really should. I had a lot of time to experience and experiment on my own while at the moon, yet she seemed to know almost as much as me, all because she had books to help her along. She's only lived a minuscule fraction of what I have, too! She was just...amazing...

I almost felt bad about using her for my own gains...well, no, that's a lie...kinda...I mean, she was such a nice girl! If only she could better appreciate the beauty that I wanted to share with everypony...for even after all those years, barely anything actually cared about the night and the moon. But if I had my way, everypony wouldn't have a choice in the matter. It's just so...sad...every time I tried to ask Twilight about what she thought of my desire to share the night, she would get all nervous and try to find an excuse to change the subject. Of course, even a pony such as her wouldn't understand...nopony does.

So what exactly was the game plan I had to overthrow my sister? I know you have to be curious. I mean, I lost the last two times, and that was with my full power, too! So what am I going to do differently this time? Well...at first, I thought I'd try to poison or diminish her powers, while increasing me own. Tip the scales in my favor...and that's when I remembered the Elements. Twilight and her friends would easily be able to stop me, using those darn Elements of Harmony. Yes, I agree that they're helpful, but they really put a damper on my plans. Worst of all, I realized this only a few days before I was going to actually put my plan into motion! Discord reminded me just how much of a chance I didn't have by being beaten himself...so then I thought to myself, "Why not try to break the mares apart? Keep Twilight to myself, maybe?" but even Discord, the master at breaking relationships, failed to do that, so I was left with nothing for a while...but...

"Uhm, Princess Celestia...I hope you don't mind me asking, but...is Luna around?" I was just about to turn the last corner leading to the main hall of my sister's castle, having just finished a meeting on new constellations, but stopped upon hearing Twilight's voice, obvioisely talking to my sister.

"Uh, Twilight? What brings you here?" my older sister asked in confusion, obvioisely not expecting her student to appear so suddenly.

'She just said why...' I thought blankly before Twi continued.

"For Luna." she answered quietly, "She said she'd be back in a short time, but she's been gone all day and I was just..." she paused for a while, obviously searching hard for the right words to use, "...uhm...worried that she might have gotten into trouble, or something?"

I guessed that, based off of Celestia's slow response, this agitated her, "Oh...she...she was just busy with the meeting, is all...I can go get her, if you want...she should be done."

'Hello...jealous, sister?' I sniggered silently, 'Jealous that I'm stealing your little student?...hold up...holy crap...this is such a win-win!'

Before either my sister or Twilight could make it around the corner, I dashed off to my room, where Celestia would eventually find me after discovering that the meeting had ended a while ago. She knocked first, then entered after I called her in.

"Luna..." she said somewhat coldly, bringing a grin to my face.

"Yes, dear sister?" I responded calmly, staring up at the ceiling as I lay on my back amidst the covers of my bed.

"Twilight...wants you to go back to the Library..." she said, sighing sadly.

"Oh? Go home?" I said, stressing 'home.' This clearly struck "home" in my sister's heart, as I clearly saw her twitch, "Gladly! I can't wait to get back to my little pony..." I cheered gleefully, hopping off my bad and heading past my sister.

"Your...little pony?" my sister asked incredulously, turning and staring at me in shock.

I froze, a smug grin across my face as my back was to her, "Of course! I thought you would have known by now. I mean, she writes to you every week! She told you by now, right?" I turned to face her, putting on a curious stare.

"Told me...about what...?" she asked, fear in her face for the first time since...well, nevermind.

I gasped, pretending to be appalled, "She didn't tell you? Wow...maybe her mind was in just too much bliss to put it on paper..." I said, trailing off and looking away so she wouldn't see my face contorted from trying to suppress my laughter.

"Luna! Stop playing games and tell me what happened!" my sister stomped angrily, shouting in the most demanding tone I've heard from her since my return.

This time...I didn't even attempt to hide my smugness...even if I could, I would have let it show anyway! I slowly turned back to face my angry sister, smiling in a victorious manner, "Oh...from all of the wild nights of passion and, ah-pfft!..." I had to stop talking or else I would've burst out in complete laughter. I wanted to go on and describe our fake "nights of passion," but the look on my sister's face was just too priceless! I...I can't even describe it!...I'll try my best, though...hmm...it was like a mixture of shock, dumbfoundedness, stupidity, and a loss of brain thought all at once...her jaw hit the floor!

"Anyway, sister, she's probably getting all the toys ready by now, better head home." and with a flick of my mane and tail, I left my sister to have a heart attack so i could go seduce little Twilight.

I'm not going to lie when I say that I have been...attracted...yeah, let's going with that...attracted to the purple unicorn for some time. In more ways that one, too! The feelings initially arose when I saw her stand up against me, fighting impossible odds with intense bravery, passion, and intelligence...mostly the passion. Then, after she expelled Nightmare Moon from my body, she replaced it with something else...and I think that "something" is a part of her...but I'm not entirely sure. All that I AM sure of, is that it has been hard, oh so hard, to refrain from pouncing and taking her on the spot when resting in her room after a talk about her magic studies...what? I have wants and needs, too...

Do you think I'm being a bit too unforgiving about this? That my actions are completely unjustified? I will admit that my sister has changed a lot while I was gone...and that the new world she helped form was indeed a fair and prosperous place, but...justice is due. I'd still keep night and day, of course, but I'll just switch the hours: Night in the hours of day, and day in the hours of night! That way, they'll be awake to see my beautiful sky and moon. That's all I want...is to be appreciated for the work that I've done...oh! Damn...got t...um, water on the page...and I'm using pen no less, so I can't erase this stupid mid-journal rambling...why am I still writing this!?...GAH!

Anyway...I hope that whoever's reading this is currently enjoying my beautiful reign over Equestria, for I'm sure that, by the time this is found by a snoopy bookworm, I would have completed my plans...

This maybe a bit short, but it IS only the first entry...
Day one of Plan B
Oh, and before I go, why don't I leave a quick little quip. Gatta have something entertaining at the end of all of these, or else I might just bore myself if I ever decide to review my notes...here ya go, me...and whoever else reads this.

"All's fair in love and war."

Day Two

I almost hate to say this, but...tricking my sister was the easy part. Following that was convincing Twilight to be my...Uhm, what's a good word for this? "Significant other." Yeah...I mean, I really did hope she would agree, and not just for my plan, I...actually had feelings for her, still do, too! I know I always will...but I didn't know if she would either accept these emotions, as well as accept me, or turn me down...I was hopeful that she'd have similar feelings towards me, as we seemed to have become very close in my stay at her Library. She...she even told me that she was still a virgin. Well...I mean, so am I, but...moving on!

As I approached Twilight's library the next day, having to stay in the castle for the night to finish some more royal business, spotting the tree from above while I soared through the clouds, all I had in my mind was the hilarious face my sister had when I told her that Twilight and I were together. I would snicker once in a while just at the thought! But then I remembered the task at hand...all those years of isolation had made my social skills less than good. I think the only reason Twilight was able to put up with me at first was because she was almost as socially awkward as me! Not quite as much, but...close...so yeah, I landed by the front door, noticing a few stares from other ponies that had taken account of my arrival. I stuck my tongue out at them in response before opening the Library door with magic and entering feeling content at the rebuttal.

My plan on tackling the problem at hand was, how shall I say...nonexistent...as in, I didn't have one. I figured that I'd just tell her how I felt, or show her, better yet, and hope she would reciprocate the feelings...Upon spotting the young unicorn studying a book (of course), I approached her with a friendly smile, trying to hide my nervousness...I think I was shaking, actually. She looked up from her book, her reading glasses almost falling off, and grew a wide grin of excitement. She immediately got over her book and bound towards me, much to my surprise.

"Luna! What took so long?" she asked, sliding to a halt DIRECTLY in front of me.

"Uhm...the meeting just took longer than I'd hoped..." I answered, blushing and looking away slightly, "You really missed me that much?"

"Yeah! Spike's always off at Rarity's, trying to get her attention..." she said, "Plus, uhh..." I brought an eye up and noticed that it was her turn to blush and look down, "Umm..."

I blinked a few times, trying to comprehend what she was trying to say...'She was going to say that she likes me!!!' I thought quickly, stepping forwards and wrapping my wings around her in a tight hug. Rubbing my neck against hers...her warmth against my body...oh, it felt so nice! I guess a little too nice, as I slipped-out a sentence that probably should have waited a few minutes longer, "I like you too, Twilight..." Upon realizing what I said, I tensed up, a look of sheer shock plastered all over my face, 'GAH! I'm such a FOAL!' I shouted at myself mentally, 'Wait...she...'

She didn't seem to tense up like I did...giving me hope that she would accept me, "Luna...do you...really?" she asked quietly, leaning back to stare me eye to eye.

I stared into her beautiful, violet eyes...lost in them...oh...I just wanted to stare in them forever...but I had to do something to prove that to her, so...since I was too flustered to talk, I...kissed her. Now that I think back on it, I was probably a bit forceful, pushing against her too hard...but...it got my point across! For though my eyes were closed, I could clearly tell she enjoyed it...since she pushed back into the kiss! At that moment, my wings fluttered in delight and my tail flicked with joy! I had almost forgotten about my plan...I guess I was enjoying the moment a bit too much...so with great regret, I broke the kiss.

"Whoa..." Twilight exhaled deeply. I noticed that she was breathing pretty heavily...and so was I.

'That was probably a bit long...' I thought, blushing and looking down in embarrassment. When I snuck a glance up to Twilight, I saw something very curious...a mix of delight and regret...she seemed confused, "Twilight...?" I asked, "I-I'm sorry...I shouldn't have..." I muttered, thinking that I moved in a bit too fast, "I...I...don't, really know...what to say..." I shrunk down, partially hiding behind my wings. I came in thinking I'd seduce her with some kind of sexy act or something, but all I accomplished was making both of us feel awkward...

"Hey Luna..." she spoke quietly, yet her voice sounded confident, "I think...I'm about to faint..."

I quickly dashed to catch her fall, for she actually DID faint! I felt so bad about causing her this much shock...I just hoped that she wouldn't want me gone after that episode, let alone accept me as a lover...but all I could do at that moment was take her to her bed for her to rest. I lifted her onto my back and carried her to her bed. After gently laying her down, I noticed that she had some sweat on her brow, and grinned. Her heart rate must have skyrocketed! Meaning she had to have enjoyed it...right? Hoping to get my mind off of things, I looked outside to find that it was getting to the time of night where I had to raise my beautiful moon...as much as I hated taking my eyes away from the beauty in front of me, though, I still had a job to do.

Later, once that arduous task was done, sweat rolling down my muzzle, I breathed a heavy sigh of relief, staring up at my most amazing creation. I remained there for quite a while, closing my eyes in a meditative peace. I opened them shortly after, though...and that's when I saw my sister's shadow in the sky.

"Oh crap!" I dashed inside, trying to think of possible questions she might have, and possible ways to answer her. Upon thinking of nothing, I panicked and decided to pretend like I was asleep. I was at first heading to MY room, but then had a better idea. I turned tail and went to Twilight's room, but made sure to remain quiet. Silently, yet quickly, I crept to her bed and slowly climbed in, hoping that she was a heavy sleeper. No sooner did I pull the covers over us and wrap my hooves around Twilight's form did I hear my sister enter the Library.

Remaining still the entire time, I heard her move around downstairs, calling both our names once in a while, before heading unto Twi's room. Even after she opened the door, I remained still, pretending to be asleep under the covers.

"I...I thought she was just playing with me..." my sister muttered in disbelief, "I can't believe...Twilight, my most precious pupil...is a lover with my little sister..."

My sister quickly left without another word, but I remained laying there for a long while afterwards...I was enjoying the feeling of the little unicorn's sleeping form wrapped in my hooves, cuddling up against her and nuzzling her mane...but then I remembered that she didn't know I was doing this, and that she was actually unconscious and not sleeping...so I slipped out of bed and left her in peace, not wanting to take advantage of her more than I already was...

Thus ends day two of Plan B...what drama today was!...still, I think it's a bit of a short entry...I need to expedite my plans! More needs to happen in one day!
Day two of Plan B.

"Better to have loved and lost, than never to have loved at all!"

...maybe that wasn't the best thing to say...
